Thanks, Reputo ... I've dowloaded RedOchre's updated plugin pack and have loaded and tried the Bezncurve. It's a little more complex than I wanted, but will use it until something simpler comes along. I really just want a Line Tool as exists now in Paint.Net, but with more mid-points. Until then, I'll use Bezncurve.

I need a line drawing tool that has more than 2 midpoint drag points.
-
The default line tool has only two drag points, besides the two at the ends. I need more flexibility with a line tool having more midpoints.

Opening .ani files isn't seeming to work on the newest version.
Toe-Head-2001 pointed this out to me, which solved my problem: "Make sure you've installed it correctly. The .dll file needs to be placed in the 'FileTypes' folder, rather than the 'Effects' folder."

This isn't a mafia racket.
You're too sensitive, Rick.
I was only referring to the fact that when you install a plugin, we have to leave it in whatever menu category the author puts it. I'll kepp living with things the way I have for the past few years - no sweat. It was only a suggestion.
And thanks to all the other comments made here by forum members. Some get rather sarcastic, but I'll live!

A couple years ago, I see that a user wanted the ability to customize all the PN menus. No way. However ...
Plugin makers choose which menu and sub-menu their particular plugins will appear when installed in PN. I don't always like what they choose for a location under either ADJUSTMENTS or EFFECTS and then some sub-menu. Without having edit access to the scripts, we can't change the location within those two menus.
Let the plugin creators continue to choose their menu location, but it would be nice if us users had the ability to modify the entire Adjustments and Effects menus (with the exception of PN built-in items). Any chance?

Whatever fonts you have installed on a Windows system is automatically available to Paint.net. So if there is a font you want to use in PN, find it and install it to the Windows fonts folder (use Control Panel/Fonts).
Here are two locations for numerous free fonts: 1001freefonts.com and dafont.com

Rick: I, and many others, are glad you're doing this. I have to laugh when I think of you, the creator/programmer of this great paint program, looking at all the dumb things us users post! LOL
But I do think you're doing the right thing.And I don't turn off autocheck on my copy (presently back to 4.09) and have always done what you suggested about just not accepting a particular update when it is announced. And I have rarely ever done that. I should have told the guy who asked about that option. It sounded like he has never gone into settings before at all.
Looking forward to 4.11 - have a great day!

I'm glad I'm not the only person who does not like to new 'overscroll' feature so I've reverted back to 4.0.9. Unfortunately it now tells me the 4.0.10 update is available and will automatically update when I next exit Paint.net. Is there a way to stop the updates or do I have to reinstall an earlier version everytime I want to use what is otherwise and excellent program?
Go to the settings button (upper right, gear icon). You will find a setting to turn off automatic updates.Edit by Rick: No, don't recommend to other people that they should turn off automatic updates. That's horribly irresponsible.
BTW - I also went back to 4.09. Happy again.

This is by far my most used plugin - love it! However, I've noticed that of all the adjustments that can be made with this, anything with the color GREEN seems to be unaffected. I know green is a combo of yellow and blue, but the green color by itself rarely, if ever, shows any adjustment to green in my image.
What might be wrong here? I have no problem with any other color adjustments.
No one has responded to my query. This my most used plugin but I get frustrated by what appears to be a flaw with the color green, especially under 'Brightness' and 'Saturation'. I mostly work with nature photos, so green is very predominate. yet this plugin seems to have little or no effect when I slide Green up or down. Other plugins that deal with color, seem to affect green as expected, but not Color Mixer. Can someone check this out and maybe respond to me? Thanks a lot!

Thank you - I just downloaded it and will check it out.

It's the update of EER's plugin. EER and Cookies worked together on this one...If you click on the link at the top of the page, you will see.
The download link is dead. Is this plugin available somewhere else?
-
I just used this plugin 2 hours ago. Worked fine.
Make sure you've installed it correctly. The .dll file needs to be placed in the 'FileTypes' folder, rather than the 'Effects' folder.
Silly me - that makes sense. I did not realize that, but I have it there now. Thanks!

I have your 4.0 version of IcoCur.dll, but I tried it with PDN 4.07 and then 4.09 and it simply will not show a "ico" filetype in the open dialog. I even tried dragging an .ico file into PDN, but the warning message appears saying the filetype is not compatible with PDN.
I had PDN 4.10 but I did not try the icocur.dll on it before I dumped it and went backward to a better behaved PDN.
The plugin description says this works on PDN 4.0+ ... is anyone being successful using this plugin?
I have long wanted to be able to edit icon filetypes in PDN, so was excited to see this. I hope it can be fixed.

When doing graphic design – precision work – you can't reduce the size otherwise you could make mistakes or not get the desired result. And moving the windows constantly? Major hassle.
As someone who does a lot of design in PDN, overscroll is amazing.
I only keep three tool windows open all the time (tools, color and history) and they sit on the side (tools) and top (color & history) and I never have to move them.
As far as reducing the size, I am only referring to reducing the "view" percentage just enough so you can get at the edges and corners. Doesn't change the image at all, other than the view. I've never had any problems.

It would be so nice to be able to better manipulate an object marked with the LASSO tool. It is so hard to get it precise around an object with only the four standard handles to shape the lasso.
So my request is this: Please add or allow for more numerous drag-handles on a selection - especially with the Lasso tool. That would be a huge help!
Thanks, guys!

And, overscroll allows you to move about the image without having to worry about the placement of the 4 floating windows (Tools, History, Layers, Colors). If they are docked to any edge or corner of the main window then it is not possible (without overscroll, anyway) to edit certain parts of the image without first moving a floating window out of the way. And this can be a constant struggle.
Thanks for your input, Rick, but haven't users learned to simply drag any tool windows they like - to outside the main window? How hard is that? Also, someone said overscroll allows working on the corner of an image. Really? C'mon ... again, simply reduce the image size temporarily enough to get at the corner. PLEASE
consider removing overscroll or make it a user option. Thanks. -
The whole purpose is to move the corners of the canvas to the center of the screen where they are easier to work on.
All you have to do is reduce the image enough (like 75%) and then you have no problem. Overscroll is overkill, big time.

BETTER YET - Since their might be someone, somewhere, that actually would use such a weird feature, please add a user option to turn it on or off. Otherwise, get rid of it.

I personally don't need the 'overscroll', but under normal circumstances it shouldn't be a problem. However, Paint.net's behavior at 100% image view is uncontrollable.
EXAMPLE: I am creating some text near the lower right corner of a 1800x1000 image. As I get near the right edge, with my text, the image jumps all over the place! Very frustrating.
I could get used to the scroll bars going well beyond the edges of the image, but can this behavior I just described be fixed? Or can I back up and reinstall the version before this feature was implemented?
I love Paint.net and have used no other for several years!

If you follow my previous directions you can rebuild the source file to create your own custom setting.
Thanks - I hadn't seen that. I have it downloaded and will give it a try. Thanks!
UPDATE: Fixed it. Thanks, much!

That's too bad, but thanks for the response.

I use this plugin a lot and have donated to Pyrochild, but I have a question and maybe a request.
Why does it default to Anti-aliasing of x2? I rarely if ever use anti-a;iasing but because this defaults to x2 rather than zero, I always have to remember to set it to zero before proceeding. Why x2?
So my request is - can this be modified so zero is the default?
I was only referring to the fact that when you install a plugin, we have to leave it in whatever menu category the author puts it. I'll kepp living with things the way I have for the past few years - no sweat. It was only a suggestion.
